Hot nuts-out, Now Hot bolts problem-turbo oil lines



Thanks for suggestions on removing the upper oil line (at the turbo) hex nuts.
Turns out I was able to torque down a new nut onto the remains of the
dissintigrated nuts, and then back out the entire stud. But...

Upon trying to remove the allen head bolts from the engine side of the line, I
run into a similar problem. Although I drove the 5 mm allen key entirely into
the bolt head, before applying torqe, it managed to just "round out" the hole.
Not having the right stuff to drill and "easy out" in this tight spot, looks
like I'll be patching it back together for a trip to my mechanic.
